McJobs and McG, cubicle culture and cougars, true love and weird roommates all jockey for space in ABC Family's “Kevin From Work,” a bawdy but strangely mild millennial-angst comedy that fades from memory as swiftly as a Snapchat post.
This may be demographically appropriate, but it's probably not what creator Barbie Adler had in mind.
Adler, who has worked as producer and writer for many fine shows, including “How I Met Your Mother” and the original “Arrested Development,” brings a similar swirl of sugar and salt to “Kevin,” which premieres Wednesday. Directed initially by action-adventurous McG, it doesn't so much swing from fairy tale to satire as attempt to lasso elements of each and herd them into the break room.
